Using Units

Add units to a block input by typing in the unit abbreviation after the input value. This tells the input what unit you want and sets the input to that unit.
  • Some units auto-populate when certain inputs are tied together. For example, In min and In max in the Ramp block always have the same units. Adding a unit for one input automatically sets the units for the other.
  • Blocks only accept units that fit with their Output Types.

Converting Units

Inputs auto-convert units when you type in a different unit of the same type. For example: Type ‘5 m’ into a Size input. The result converts the meters to millimeters, but shows 5 m in the input.

Writing Units

  • Use ’^’ to denote units with a superscript.
    • For example: mm^2 means mm2
  • Use * for multiplying units.
  • Use / for dividing units.
